no man is an #island

instead, some men resemble an active volcano: dormant and stoic, until they violently explode without warning, destroying everything and everyone that settled around them

Islands don’t float.
At some level,
They are connected
To the mainland.
So, you can be separated
By the sea
And still be part
Of the whole.

Jen hadn't been to the big #island in decades, but found it hadn't changed. Elders still crowded the cafes, tourists still visited the volcano, the observatory still reflected the stars. Her marriage had begun here & it was the perfect place to end it. The bugs would make short work of Tom. #vss365

sand between my toes
salty waves spreading evenly
racing toward my legs
cresting over my ankles
the sound of splashing waterfalls
crashing tubes from clear to white
beat the earth and beat the earth
under fading, colored skies
as the sun sets on fire
into the lonely,
blue-green
ocean

It floats unnoticed by anyone or anything. Bathing in the warm sun, soaking up all the droplets of rain, lying dormant when snow wraps it in a blanket. Daily it endures Feet clacking, tyres grinding, fires attacking, drills fracking. #Island just wants to feel peace.

The strangest thing wasn’t Dad being on Desert #Island Discs. It was that he’d chosen a Queen song. He hated Queen.

Also strangely, my violent ex had just been found dead.

Wait. “Just killed a man…”

I pictured Dad miles away reclining against a palm tree as By The Sleepy Lagoon faded out. #vss365

The quite before the island storm...
Only the salt in the sea air knows,
And Crow of course

Hey, you! Are you currently in your 30s or 40s, waking up with pains in your lower back, your knees and your soul, wishing you could go back to the early 90s to early 2000s...? #island #vss365 #microfiction #flashfiction #nostalgia #millennials

Spectacular morning.

#Tavira #Island #NudistBeach #Sunrise #Red

Marooned by an asteroid's strange gravity! It was my own desert #island in space. Now time is a sad #blur. Yet I am no one's #subject, no one #asserts power over me. It's just me and the stars. I find relief. But when I open my eyes, who is that falling from the sky?

#vss365 #2wordprompt #vssdaily

This land upon which
I lend my thought
Lease the sandy sprawl
My soul put down as deposit
At least 7,600 pieces of it
For each #island tribes call
Home of headhunters & warriors
Fisherman, netweavers
Where the blood of Magellan falls
Each hand knows a Moro blade
Each day holds its weight

Against a blue sky someone's red kite wandered over the #island like a misplaced exclamation.

they say
that no man
is an #island
but why
do they
put barriers
so no one
can be
neighbourly?

#vss365 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

To find an #island.
Goodbye to confused
aunts who lose their false
teeth in the fridge.
Goodbye to desperate
teenage daughters who
can’t find clean tights.
Goodbye to crying
bosses throwing tantrums
cause they don’t have coffee.
Hello to early nights
and lazy mornings.

Fake light makes rocks glow like a volcanic #island in the black of space, spewing red-hot wavelengths across spacetime. They're bright beacons in the cosmos' lonesome, crowded, quiet, dark forest. They draw in hunters, battling, hungry to claim an easy meal. Monsters grow stronger in light.
